I came across two different blog posts in the last few days that made me stop to think about how lucky I am and reminded me to be grateful for everything I have. Everywhere you turn lately we are being bombarded with negativity…layoffs, huge debts, entire industries going under, bailouts and the list goes on and on. It can certainly make it difficul at times to stay positive and keep looking forward. I’m an optimistic and extremely positive person but even I’m not immune to getting a little down every now and then. But all I have to do is remember how truly blessed my life is, how much I’ve been given and how lucky I am to have what I have.

My friend Kevin posted The Entrepreneurs Creed on his blog and it really made me think about my own life, the choices I’ve made and the responsibility I have to do great things.

I also came across this amazing video on Becker’s Blog and it really made me think. It’s about 6 minutes but definitely worth the watch. If this girl can keep a positive attitude and outlook on life than I should have no problem.

So take a second to appreciate your life and all the good things you have. Then turn off the news and start thinking positive.
